c/ai-art-debate

Why does nobody talk about the art show at the Portland library that changed my mind on AI?

I saw a piece there made with Midjourney that looked like a photo of a forest fire, but the artist explained they wrote over 200 prompts to get it right. Now I think the real art is in the directing, not just the final picture. Does anyone else feel that way after seeing AI work in person?

PSA: Our marketing team's new AI art policy is causing some tension.

At my office, we were told to start using AI for making pictures in our reports and ads. It saves a lot of time and money, which management likes. I tried it for a project last week and the image turned out fine. But our graphic designer, who has been here for years, got really mad. He says AI art isn't real because no person put in the creative work. Now half the team thinks it's a useful tool, and the other half feels it's cheating. Our boss is stuck between keeping costs low and keeping the team happy. From my seat, it's a real debate on what art means at work. Your mileage may vary, but this is getting common in my field.

My AI-generated photo of Mount Fuji sparked a nasty debate in my group

I used an AI tool to make a picture of Mount Fuji based on my memories from last year. The image came out stunning, with perfect cherry blossoms and a clear sky. I was proud and shared it online, thinking it was a cool way to remember my trip. But then, people started arguing that it's not art at all because a machine made it. One friend said it has no soul since I didn't paint it myself. Another person claimed it's just data points, not creative expression. I feel frustrated because to me, it captures the feeling of being there better than any photo I took. Now every time I post something AI-made, it turns into a fight about what art is.

I finally learned how much energy AI art demands and it's worrying for our planet.

How my kids' AI birthday card won over my dad, the biggest doubter.

He went from doubter to fan after seeing how much thought they put into the prompts.

TIL my sis's AI pic made me get the art debate

She made a cool landscape with an AI tool. I used to think it was lazy, but now I see why folks call it art. How has your family talked about AI pics?

My cousin's AI picture for grandma really is art, fight me

Honestly, lots of people say AI images are not real art because no person draws them. But last month, my little cousin worked on a picture for our grandma using an AI app. She spent days typing in ideas and changing stuff until it looked right. It showed our family at the beach, a place we love. Some say it's fake, but I see her care and time in it. For us, it's a sweet gift that means a lot. We should not shut down new ways to show love at home.
